[Debian-med-packaging] Could you provide text data for mimeTypeExtensions in RCurl?

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Duncan,

I'm trying to package RCurl for Debian.  Our ftpmasters recently
decided[1] that for any RData file shipped inside an R source package
which is not some measured data or so some human readable file and a
conversion script to produce the *.rda file should be shipped.

Could you help me (as a quite uneducated person in R - I just need
RCurl as some prerequisite for other software) to fit this criterion?

Kind regards and thanks for providing RCurl as free software

      Andreas.

Howdy maintainers,
...
There's also no info about RCurl/data/mimeTypeExtensions.rda, and if this is
being generated off some MIMEType table. Where's the script for that?
